I have started watching a new Netflix show called Styling Hollywood.  At one point, they wanted to put in an enormous picture window and the builder was not confident it would hold up. The client’s response was “Jesus will hold it up!” He was joking obviously but he had heard it so often that it was his first response.

It got me thinking, about how confident the man was in the Lord’s strength.  He must have heard that before in other situations, to not worry, the Lord has your back.  Jesus will hold you up.

As it often happens, this scripture has been on my mind this week and I could see the connection.

Philippians 4:13 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

¹³ I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Although I rather prefer the version that says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

I think sometimes we try to be stubborn, I can do this, I do not need help, I am all I need.

I have been reminded this week, for many reasons, that in fact I do need the strength of God to get through, I only have to ask. I am working on it

God bless,
